The next morning Emilia woke up and packed her trunk. She placed Elli in her cage and made her bed. Suddenly there was knocking on the glass window beside her. She turned and saw an owl perched on the ledge outside. She gently opened the window and the owl flew in, landing on her bed. Emilia sat down beside it and untied the scroll attached to its leg.

"Thank you." she said. With that the owl took off back out the window. Emilia stared at the scroll and then decided to open it. She unrolled it slowly so that it wouldn't smudge and read the scratchy writing she knew to be Dumbledore's.

Dearest Emilia,

Please come to my office, I have urgent news. The password is "Lemon Drop."

Come quick.

Dumbledore

Emilia rolled it back up and stuffed it in her trunk. She then exited the common room and took the staircases up to the top floor. She ran down the hall and collided with Professor Snape who had just exited from his room.

"Mrs. Potter! Watch where you are going." he said, in a not so happy voice.

"Sorry." Emilia said, continuing down the hall towards Dumbledore's office.

"In trouble again are we." he sneered, with a content look on his face before he disappeared around the corner. Emilia ignored his last comment and found herself in front of a large Eagle like statue.

"Lemon Drop." she said. The statue began to move and steps formed. Emilia stepped on and held on for dear life. She hated heights. When she reached Dumbledore's office doors, he was there waiting for her.

"Thank you for coming as soon as you could, Emilia." he said, opening the door for her. Emilia stepped in and found Harry already sitting at Dumbledore's desk. She sat down and smiled at him. Harry smiled back, but she could tell it was false.

"Harry could you please leave us for a moment." Dumbledore asked. Harry stood up and went and sat in a small sitting room off the main office.

"Why is Harry so sad?" Emilia asked.

"What do you mean?" Dumbledore replied.

Emilia looked at him as if saying, "Are you blind." Dumbledore smiled,

"No I am not." he said, a sparkle in his eye. Emilia nodded and dropped the subject.

"So what is so urgent." she said. Dumbledore took out a piece of paper.

"This is very serious business Emilia." Dumbledore began. "I am telling you this as both your Grandfather and Headmaster." Emilia nodded looking Dumbledore straight in the face.

"Now that you have come in contact with Harry, and Voldemort knows you exist, you are not safe. I am saddened to tell you this, but you will not be able to return to your host family." Dumbledore explained. Emilia looked at her hands and then out the window.

"I understand. I wouldn't want them to be hurt." she said.

"They will have a memory charm cast on them so they will not remember that you exist." Dumbledore explained.

"Where will I live then?" she asked, panicked.

"You must go live with your Aunt Petunia, your mother's sister, along with Harry." he replied.

"Why can't we stay with you?" Emilia stressed.

"I can't explain that right now." Dumbledore said.

"Harry! Come here please." he called. Harry came and sat beside Emilia.

"Harry I need you to give this to your Aunt when you arrive home. If she gives you any trouble, send me an urgent owl." Dumbledore told him. Harry took the letter from Dumbledore and put it in his pocket.

"You should go before you miss the train." Dumbledore said, coming out from behind the desk. Harry stood up, said good-bye, and left. Emilia followed him with her eyes till he vanished around the corner. Emilia walked over to Dumbledore and hugged him. Tears began streaming down her cheek.

"Now, now Emilia." Dumbledore said, taking her head in his hands.

"You will see me next year." he continued.

"I love you." Emilia said kissing him on the cheek.

"I love you and your brother very much too, tell him that." Dumbledore said, kissing her on the forehead. Emilia said good-bye, and followed the stairs down to the foyer and out the front steps, waving to Professor McGonagall as she went. Emilia jumped on the train and joined her friends, including Angel in one of the compartments. The train slowly pulled up to platform 9 ¾ as Emilia changed into her clothes. They all said good-bye, gave hugs, and went their separate ways. Harry and Emilia jumped in a taxi and headed to the Dursley's house. Harry told Emilia how mean they were and how much they would loath everything about her. Emilia pulled her things out of the cab's trunk and hauled it to the door. Harry knocked and a boy's voice shouted, "Coming!"

The door opened and Dudley stood there staring at them.

"Mommy! Daddy!" he shouted, looking rather annoyed. Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon came to the door. All three of them stared coldly at her and Harry. Harry handed them the letter and forced his way inside, dragging Emilia after him. Aunt Petunia turned and glared at Emilia.

"Wonderful! Another Potter to take care of." she sneered, in a way that reminded Emilia of Snape. Harry and Emilia were forced into Dudley's old bedroom and that was where they spent the summer. Locked doors and bared windows.
